Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon

If you have a favorite chemist, alchemist, or past award recipient, help write him or her into Wikipedian history!

Activities may include editing pages, creating new pages, and adding images and metadata, with a focus on CHF’s collection of women scientists. Active Wikipedians and novices are welcome. Coaching will be provided. Please bring your own laptop.
